Together w/ mwait/hlt/pause no vmexits for dedicated instances. In addition, hlt in guest will disable pv qspinlock which is not optimal for dedicated instance. Refer to commit b2798ba0b876 (KVM: X86: Choose qspinlock when dedicated physical CPUs are available) and commit caa057a2cad64 (KVM: X86: Provide a capability to disable HLT intercepts). > > I'll find the source for the oops (or confirm can't reproduce with > kvm/queue RSN). Looking forward to it, thanks Marcelo, hope we can catch the upcoming merge window. :) Regards, Wanpeng Li
